Wool Fashion Fabric – Natural Warmth, Texture & Elegance | Fabric Base Inc.
Wool fashion fabric is a staple in the world of high-end textiles, prized for its warmth, structure, and natural breathability. From tailored garments to outerwear and accessories, wool fabrics offer timeless appeal and comfort. At Fabric Base Inc., we carry a diverse range of wool textiles—including classic suiting wools, blends, and textured styles like wool dobby fabric—available by the roll from our Los Angeles showroom and warehouse.
What Is Wool Fabric?
Wool is a natural fiber harvested from sheep, valued for its insulating properties, resilience, and versatility. Available in a wide variety of weaves, weights, and finishes, wool can be tailored into structured, sophisticated garments or soft, draping styles. Some wool fabrics are blended with synthetic fibers such as polyester or elastane to enhance durability, reduce cost, or add stretch.
Wool fabrics are breathable, flame-resistant, and biodegradable—making them a long-lasting and eco-conscious choice for fashion production.
Wool Dobby Fabric – Added Texture, Subtle Detail
Wool dobby fabric is a special variety of wool woven on a dobby loom to create small geometric or textured patterns in the fabric itself. These woven designs add a tactile element and visual depth without relying on printed patterns. The result is a refined wool fabric with subtle surface interest, making it ideal for:
Tailored Suits & Blazers: Dobby textures elevate business and formal wear with understated elegance.
Winter Dresses & Skirts: Structured yet soft, wool dobby drapes well while maintaining shape.
Outerwear Linings & Fashion Details: Adds contrast or subtle flair to jackets and coats.
Accessories: Scarves, vests, or wraps made with wool dobby carry a luxe hand-feel and visual detail.
Wool dobby fabric can be used anywhere a designer seeks structure and sophistication with a twist.
Other Common Wool Fabrics We Offer
Wool Flannel: Soft, brushed surface; ideal for trousers, blazers, and winter shirts.
Wool Gabardine: Tightly woven with a smooth finish, excellent for suiting and trousers.
Wool Crepe: Lightweight with a crinkled surface, great for dresses and skirts.
Tweed: Coarse, textured wool perfect for coats and heritage-inspired fashion.
Wool Blends: Enhanced with synthetics for stretch, wrinkle resistance, or reduced weight.
Benefits of Wool Fashion Fabrics
Insulating: Retains warmth naturally while remaining breathable and moisture-wicking.
Durable: Resists wrinkles, sagging, and odors better than many other natural fibers.
Tailorable: Responds well to pressing and shaping—perfect for structured garments.
Sustainable: Renewable, biodegradable, and long-lasting when properly cared for.
Aesthetic Variety: Available in solids, heathers, checks, and woven textures like dobby or twill.
Care Instructions for Wool Fabrics
Dry Clean Preferred: Best to preserve shape and fiber quality, especially for structured garments.
Spot Clean or Hand Wash: If label allows, use cold water and wool-safe detergent. Lay flat to dry.
No Heat: Avoid high temperatures. Do not machine dry.
Steam Pressing: Use a steam iron on low with a pressing cloth. Wool holds creases well but can scorch if ironed directly.
Always check whether your wool fabric is blended or pure, as blends may tolerate different care routines.
